Originally from Northern England, Alan Norsworthy has been a photographer since the late 1960's.

He moved to Canada in 1973 and has made Guelph Ontario his home for the last 24 years.

" I remember visiting the CN Tower in the early 70's and the guide said that as far as you could see in any direction is the best farmland in Canada. That comment echoes down the years as I watch subdivisions eat up the landscape."

The area around Guelph offers up a plethora of rural images which Alan captures with his artistic vision. His work covers everything from macro photographs of flowers, sweeping landscapes, historic buildings and old abandoned farms in both colour and Black and White.

"This is where I find my inspiration, I have a need to show people the beauty I see as I walk the woods and fields of Southern Ontario"

Photo of the weekend - Wanderings - Elora


Wanderings - Elora
Originally uploaded by Alan Norsworthy

A blah sort of day, typical February.
A typical Black and White day !
My friend Dave and I took a short, casual stroll around Elora. That and a cup of hot tea to drive away the chills.

Someone commented on Flickr about the Zig Zag patterns in this image. Yes I like them too, enough to make it my "photo of the weekend"

Taken with my Kodak Retina IIC rangefinder.
